The leaders of our programs are active practitioners and have extensive experience in the field. Our facilitators, speakers and coaches are carefully chosen for their professional experience and their ability to engage adult learners. They are drawn from the faculty ranks at Queen’s, from the offices of top labour law firms, from consultants working on the front line with organizations going through changes, from union leaders, and captains of industry. These are people at the top of their game, eager to help our participants gain an edge. Our speakers bring the experience of the real life and real up-to-date issues that they are dealing with in the court systems, in managing HR departments and in businesses and organizations. Our facilitators, speakers and coaches come from both union and management, from a variety of sectors and industries, from across Canada and internationally; we often choose local experts, coaches and guest speakers to provide regional experience for individual programs.
